"Hate Week is officially celebrated from April 4th to April 10th. The 
events during that time include waxwork displays, military parades, 
speeches and lectures. New slogans are also coined and new songs are 
written. The theme of the Hate Week is called the Hate Song. It is 
mentioned that a unit from the Fiction Department was assigned to make 
atrocity pamphlets (falsified reports of atrocities committed by 
Oceania's enemies against her) designed to stimulate Oceania's populace 
further into enraged frenzy against all enemies. The aggregate effect 
of Hate Week thus is to excite the populace to such a point that they 
"would unquestionably have torn to pieces" if given the opportunity."
